Reach Announces a New Partnership Integration with ATLS Location Service, Enhancing School Safety & Operations

HALIFAX, NS, March 19, 2024 /CNW/ - Reach School Life Management Systems is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with ELi Technology Inc. and GeoComm following the integration of their "ATLS Location Service", within Reach's Emergency Response Safety application, to further enhance school safety and emergency management.

ATLS is a unique digital location and mapping service developed by ELi Technology, a SaaS location technology company, and supported by GeoComm, creators and deliverers of locally authoritative indoor and outdoor GIS for mission critical applications serving local, regional, statewide, and military agencies in forty-nine US states.

The ATLS Service has been integrated into Reach's Emergency Response system to provide more accurate indoor location information, supporting Reach's student locator and emergency management capabilities.

This integration aims to build higher levels of school safety and efficiency through delivery of more actionable, accurate, and precise indoor location intelligence, down to the classroom and floor-level, clearly depicted on indoor floorplans.

Via the Reach platform the ATLS Location Service equips responders, security personnel, and school or campus administrators with vital location information for various scenarios, from routine staff or student check-ins, minor medical alerts to emergency situations such as threats, lockdowns, evacuations, and reunifications.

ATLS supplies cutting-edge location intelligence and improves situational awareness for all school safety stakeholders.  Accurately mapped location of the incident is shared immediately via Reach's platform with designated school personnel and external law enforcement, whether onsite or close by.  ATLS is a bolt-on service, and requires no additional infrastructure changes, or ongoing maintenance costs, and fully respects privacy and security.

"ATLS" has created a revolutionary technology that will change the landscape of situational response in schools. Reach and ATLS together will bring a level of Crisis Management that will disrupt the industry and more importantly, it will keep kids safe." ~ Brian Murray, Director at Reach

"Reach offers one of the most comprehensive Student Management Systems on the market", says ELi's CEO Peter Woodford. "Perfectionists in their work, they strive to set a global benchmark for school and campus automation. Integrating ATLS ensures even higher levels of effective and efficient incident management. It's a win-win for both our companies and we're excited to see ATLS make the Reach solution even more impactful. It will become invaluable not only for Reach's day-to-day operations that leverage location, but also during medical emergencies, when time really is of the essence, and knowing the exact location will ensure prompt and coordinated responses."
